You've got 24 hours to game-ify relationship mechanics beyond 'Talk to waifu 4 times and then she loves you forever'.Personally, I think they should bring back romance flags where saying the wrong shit can get you locked out.
>>736481283You should at least gently walk her home
The traits and stats you pick in character creation lock you out of relationship options later in the game.
The game should scan the player's face, height, and require a copy of their paystub and if they are not at least an 8/10, >6'0" and make six figures then they should be permanently locked from all romance options and given a list of suicide methods
>>736481283I like to see the ability to pair off NPCs and followers to each other with the system being comparable to how aliments for alliance work in games like Age of Wonders where you can't just force opposites to get a long and first time encounters effect the stats as well, with your actions/behaviors of everyone around you effecting what they think, go even further and put a set amount of time you can pair off characters and if you don't get it done in that window they won't have interest in the PC/Followers anymore and either just stay single or hook up with some off screen NPC. Mind you I think I'd be the only one who would like this as most lose their shit if their waifu is anything but the Player character's fucktoy (See reactions to what Baldur's gate 3 allowed) but the idea that it operates like real life encounters that require right place, right time with work in between seems fun to me.
>>736481283i personally find kingpin design to be utmost ridiculous despite this is a cartoon movie. Is this a comic accurate design?
>>736481283Throw bunch of meters like "safety", "proximity" and "recent favors" onto the waifu, her relationship meter rises over time based on them, you can even attach specific dialogues to certain combos of these bars
>>736481618It was inspired off of a Bill Sienkiewicz drawling from 1986 which some of the plot of Spiderverse lifted from.
>>736481538True incels don't kill themselves, they persist like thistles and make everyone else's lives worse.
>>736481538trvth nvke, also there should be general halos>if your body fat % is below specific number you get specific amount of + points>if you have light colored blue/green/hazel eyes you get specific amount of + points>if you have light skin you get a specific amount of + points>if you are over 6ft you get a specific amount of + points>if you have a deep voice you get a specific amount of + points>if you have high cha you get a specific amount of + points>the more women you fuck or if you're wearing a ring you get more + points>hairline, jawline, chin, muscle %, adam's apple size, dick size, ball size, sperm count, frame/shoulder check etc for pointsit should be like a stat check, the more stacey a woman is the more stats she requires to be catchable. while if you are sub5 incel you get game over and it snaps to your character roping or becoming the average 4chan hunchback recluse making and watching porn instead all day instead.
>>736481283>"almost caught cheating on gf" stealth level
>>736481705I don't think it works like that, if anything they become the god in the gaps for normies to cope with their lives. No incels, no cope, they could only blame themselves. But so long as incels exist in turn they have a cope to blame on whatever their own suffering brings. So thanks I guess?
>>736481759If you're not making everyone else's lives worse, you're probably a faggot.
I think leisure suit larry got it down rightYea you want her to fall in love with you fast, but at least play a dumbass minigame before itNot something ballbustingly difficult but something fun quick and progresses the story
>>736481795Thing is an incel is only making his own life worse. It's why he's alone.
>>736481671is this the only one where his body design looks like this?
>>736481848Give homeless people money to buy drugs, throw rusty needles everywhere, destroy people's gardens in the middle of the night, piss in elevators, troll people online, do something with your life and stop being a pathetic woe is me faggot, make people miserable.
>>736481283>have to constantly give attention, not giving enough attention might result on ntr>no bi/playersexual crap, some are outright straights some are fags, no inbetween>your stat matters, intelligent person won't even come near a 1 int build, str characters gets disgusted by DYELs, etc>some specific requirements to start and continue the relationship, like to keep dating a gold digger you have to always have enough money
>>736481538but can you bone crush ingame or do you have to do it irl to looksmax?
How about a game that is about getting men comfortable with rejection somehow?Like the RNG will be so unfair that you won't get far with any of the first 40 girls but eventually an obese or single mother one gives you a chance?
>>736481935The thing is, normal people are so chill and comfortable with their lives that any minor inconvenience you can cause is just completely irrelevant to them. They'll probably just feel sorry for you like they already do.
the best romance stories in games have a fixed heroine, and no player choices.if the main character is a self insert stand in for the player, the entire narrative suffers because of itthe only way to do romance properly is carefully handcrafting it
>>736482305Property values lowering and hours of work being wasted in an instant isn't a minor inconvenience. Something I'll always remember, there was a news segment, somebody sent his neighbour a letter telling her to euthanize her autistic son, that's the level of hate and vitriol you need to show the world.
>>736482386well luckily i posted a turn based shooter/strategy hybrid and not an rpg
>>736481283hidden mechanic which it tracks how many $ you invested on waifu based on dates and gifts with % bonuses or penalties depending on if you did trendy stuff she could show-off on videogame social media.
I 'd like if the romances you pick or mess up have actual game world requirements and consequences instead of just opening one more bench for that girls & your companions dialogtrees and a Fade2black.Just do something with the romances at least?Even the "chosen one" should not get to save that random human kingdom and keep the nice cute fantasy world goign as it was without tardwrangling the hot but elitist princess, she won't fully support your war measures and new laws if she didn't fall for you and just married the ebil vizier instead. Other way around example, you also should not get to bind the hot evil succ to your soul without murdering the ruling family of the human kingdom first and by extension causing the goblin empire to become a grimdark power bloc or such fuckery.Then there is the bullshit with party members who also wanted the D but will never decide to look elsewhere, or leave and become a stranger/ enemy over you picking someone else.As it is, the whole love interest stuff gets 99% stuck in a total narrative isolation cell and does nothing before some ending sliders, most devs can't even be assed to make the waifu you picked consistently sleep in your bedroll after you hooked up ffs.
>>736482386>jarpigshouldn't you be happy about your used up roastie waifus in your wrpgs?
>thread asking for romance mechanic ideas >everyone just makes to make vidya romances just like real life online dating
>>736481283gynoid peripheral connected to the game that you fuck in real life and if you do a shitty job in bed you get blocked by the character in the game since why would they talk to you if you're a shitty lay. different girls have different preferences and you have to fuck them in the way they prefer, but in each case competently
>>736482685Online dating is gamified already, a bunch of parasitic vermin Jews optimize algorithms and create fake people to entice you to spend time and money on these apps so they can harvest information and revenue from you.
>>736482756sex would make for fun gameplay imo, it feels good and you can get all sorts of feedback if you pair it with VR or something
>>736481935Based
>>736481283You get 20 questions and need to work out if she's insane without using any words that mean insane, or the questions being hypotheticals.If she's insane and you get it wrong, or break the rules, you black out and she takes half your money like you lost a pokemon battle.
>>736481283Stop the capitulation to self-inserters and implement NTR mechanics.It's not a game if you can't lose.
>>736482685No shit, you can't replicate teenage love
>>736482685>make vidya romances just like real life online datingSo just P2W?
>>736481283'compatibility ratings' based on character stats>every girl has her own set of preferences>character creation choices actually matter for these preferences.>these preferences compared your character generates a compatibility score.>95%+ compatibility>love at first sight, dating bits are more of a formality. as long as you dont pick the worst possible dialogue options she'll love you>85-94%>strong match, unlikely to fuck up the relationship. pretty much dont need to try>84-65%>decent match. have to pay attention if you dont want to fuck it up, takes more effort to wife>64-50%>ok match. takes a good chunk of effort, will fuck it up if you're not paying attention to her interests>50%-36%>weak match. will take a large amount of effort to form the relationship. will also need to know a good bit about her to get through conversations.>35%-16%>bad match, will take substantial effort to form the relationship, will need to know a lot about her to not fuck it up in conversations.>15-6%>failing match, can never form a relationship but you can still try to date. they'll always result in relationship strength going down until one of you gives up.>5%->not a chance, wont even get the option to date
>>736485315Can somebody add the refrigerator to this image?
There needs to be more cucking where the companion you flirt ends up with someone else
Buy her favorite foodButThey should do it like real women. As soon as you buy her favorite food for the fourth time she flips out and says “no it isn’t!! I want something else!!” Then she picks some random ass shit like caviar to make you dance like a fool
>>736489170I like it.
>>736489170(continuing cause i had to bump the thread first)>compatibility always starts at 50%>core idea is that there are three types of preference/dislike for romance options>major like/dislike's>these are usually major character traits like class, predominant stats, and central skills.>if one of these is hit it'll almost always bump compatibility to 95%+ or 5%-, completely ignoring other preferences and dislikes (unless you hit pretty much everything, at which case you can go down to decent or up to bad)>a healer with a practical mindset for example, has a major dislike for other healers trying to become her husband.>she thinks its stupid, a healer should get with someone that she can heal. like a tank or fighter.>if you're a fighter however, the practical healer will >minor likes/dislikes>can encompass both major traits and minor ones>can add up to +/-37%, allowing you to hit strong/failing matches>the primary deciding factor on if you should go for a girl or not. major likes/dislikes are usually special and rare bonuses.>little nothings/nitpicks>minor and miniscule character traits like appearance or the distribution of a character's dump stats.>on its own, cant take a character out of the ok/weak range.>but it can be the difference between getting the next tier of compatibility or not.>strong/failing matches can also be bumped to 95%+/5%-, allowing you to get to love at first sight without a major like
